Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine shelving technology, and more specifically, to a mobile shelving system for traditional Chinese medicine warehouse management. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) warehouse management, traditional shelving systems often have numerous limitations. Many shelving units have a fixed structure, making it difficult to adjust their location or layout once installed. With the increasing variety of TCM products, fluctuations in storage volume, and the optimization of warehouse management processes, this fixed nature brings many inconveniences. For example, during inventory checks, staff need to navigate between fixed shelving aisles, consuming significant time and energy. When TCM product classifications are adjusted or seasonal storage needs change, it's impossible to quickly and flexibly replan shelving space. Furthermore, traditional shelving often lacks sufficient flexibility in height and shelf spacing, failing to adapt well to different specifications and packaging of TCM products, potentially leading to wasted space or difficulty in storing certain large TCM products. In addition, for some small TCM warehouses, frequent adjustments to the warehouse layout may be necessary based on business development; the high cost of modifying and moving traditional shelving systems limits efficient warehouse operation.

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0021] Example
[0022] Please refer to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment of the utility model, a movable shelving unit for managing traditional Chinese medicine warehouses includes outer columns 1, inner columns 2, and connecting parts. The four outer columns 1 are fixed to the four corners of a support frame 3 by bolts. Two inner columns 2 are arranged at the top of the support frame 3 between the outer columns 1. Vertical grooves 4 are provided on the outer perimeter of both the outer columns 1 and the inner columns 2. An adjusting frame 6 is movably arranged between the outer columns 1 and the inner columns 2, and a partition 9 is detachably installed on the adjusting frame by bolts. Locking blocks 7 are provided at both ends of the adjusting frame 6. Screw holes 8 are provided on the side of the locking blocks 7. Casters 13 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the four outer columns 1. The connecting parts include U-shaped blocks 10. The U-shaped block 10 has two locking blocks 11 at each end, and the U-shaped block 10 and the locking blocks 11 are integrally formed. The two locking blocks 11 are adapted to the vertical grooves 4 on the two adjacent outer columns 1. The locking block 7 is slidably disposed in the vertical groove 4, and the screw hole 8 corresponds to the through hole 5. The locking block 7 is a cross-shaped block, and the vertical groove 4 is a cross-shaped groove. Each side of the outer column 1 and the inner column 2 is provided with two vertical grooves 4. The distance between the vertical grooves 4 on two adjacent outer columns 1 is the same as the distance between the two vertical grooves 4 on the same outer column 1. The outer column 1, the inner column 2, and the adjusting frame 6 are all provided with several cavities 12. The moving wheel 13 is a self-locking universal wheel.
[0023] Usage process:
[0024] In use, the locking blocks 7 at both ends of the adjusting frame 6 are embedded in the vertical grooves 4 of the outer upright 1 and the inner upright 2. Since the vertical groove 4 is a cross-shaped groove and the locking blocks 7 are cross-shaped blocks that are adapted to it, the locking blocks 7 can slide stably up and down in the vertical groove 4. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the partition 9, first loosen the bolts fixing the adjusting frame 6, and then move the adjusting frame 6 along the vertical groove 4 to the appropriate position. At this time, the screw holes 8 on the side of the locking blocks 7 are aligned with the corresponding through holes 5 on the outer upright 1 or the inner upright 2. Then, pass the bolts through the through holes 5 and screw them into the screw holes 8 to tighten them, thereby fixing the adjusting frame 6 at the new height position, realizing the flexible adjustment of the spacing between the layers where the partition 9 is located, so as to adapt to the storage of Chinese medicine goods of different heights; when it is necessary to splice multiple shelves together, a splicing connector is used. The U-shaped block 10 of the splicing connector spans between two adjacent outer uprights 1, and the locking blocks 11 at both ends are inserted into the corresponding vertical grooves 4 respectively; The spacing between the vertical slots 4 on adjacent outer columns 1 is consistent with the spacing between the vertical slots 4 on the same outer column 1, allowing the locking block 11 to be accurately embedded, achieving stable splicing of multiple shelves in the horizontal and vertical directions, expanding the overall storage area and layout of the shelves; the self-locking casters 13 located at the bottom of the outer columns 1 support the entire shelf; when the shelf needs to be moved, the locking device of the casters 13 is unlocked, and the staff can push the shelf, utilizing the 360-degree rotation characteristic of the casters, to move the shelf in any direction on the warehouse floor, facilitating the movement of the shelf to different locations within the warehouse, such as near the outbound area, inbound area, or other specific storage areas. When the shelf reaches its destination, the casters 13 are locked again to fix the shelf in its current position and prevent accidental movement;
[0025] In the aforementioned process, the adjustable layer spacing, set by this device, can be optimized according to the actual height of different Chinese herbal medicines, avoiding space waste caused by fixed layer spacing. Whether it's short packages of Chinese herbal medicine slices or taller barrels of Chinese herbal medicine, suitable storage space can be found. Simultaneously, multiple shelves can be flexibly combined using connecting components. Multiple sets of shelves can be connected left and right to increase length, or front and back to increase shelf depth, fully utilizing warehouse floor space and adapting to different warehouse shapes and sizes, thus improving warehouse space utilization. The fixing of the connecting components also increases stability. The height-adjustable partitions and the modular structure allow the shelves to quickly adapt to the ever-changing storage needs of Chinese herbal medicine warehouses. This application has a simple structure, strong practicality, and is easy to operate, making it worthy of promotion.
[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These will not affect the implementation effect of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
